Skin Côntact Encore – sketchy iPhone pics from a great night @ O2 Islington

Last year's inaugural gig on Monday 9 March 2015 at the now closed Vinopolis was supposed to be a one-off. Happily they were persuaded out of premature retirement and, with a new line up of vocalists played another great gig at the O2 Islington. Hopefully this will not be the band's final appearance and that they will play as many farewell concerts as Frank Sinatra.....

SkinCôntactLIVE: great result £10,671.73 for Comic Relief

Many congratulations to Richard Hemming and all involved in the organisation and success of Skin ContactLIVE on such a great result. Here is a final selection on photos from the gig. A gig that persuaded me to buy a couple of CDs from Curiosity killed the Cat plus one from Gene.
